The ionization of benzoic acids in water at 25° was used by Hammett as the standard reaction for the original qp treatment (2a). This reaction and several analogous reactions, e.g., ionization and ester saponification rates of benzoic acids, cinnamic acids, and phenylpropiolic acids, gives ap correlations of relatively high precision. Taft and Lewis classified such reactions in an A category (2f). Reexamination of these A reactions, as well as additional analogous data which have become available subsequently, provided eight reaction series of data of apparently comparable reliability. In the para position, each of these sets of data meets the necessary condition of a minimal basis set... 

These reductions of lactols with Et3SiH 84b in combination of BE3 -OEt2, TfOH, or TMSOTf 20 have become standard reactions for synthesis of cyclic ethers [62-69]. Thus even co-hydroxyketones such as 1837 cyclize readily with excess EtsSiH 84b in the presence of TMSOTf 20, in high yields, via the lactols 1838, to give cyclic ethers such as the substituted oxepane 1839 in 90% yield [65] (Scheme 12.18). 

A wide variety of standard reactions for the transformation of substituents attached to ring carbon atoms have been reported in the literature. A selection of routine functional group transformations is summarized in Table 1 and in the few lines that follow. The selected examples can be classified according to the nature of the transformation, the reagents implicated, and the type of ring system E-M whose susbtituents underwent the modification. 

The simplest C-C bond formation reaction is the nucleophilic displacement of a halide ion from a haloalkane by the cyanide ion. This was one of the first reactions for which the kinetics under phase-transfer catalysed conditions was investigated and patented [l-3] and is widely used [e.g. 4-12], The reaction has been the subject of a large number of patents and it is frequently used as a standard reaction for the assessment of the effectiveness of the catalyst. Although the majority of reactions are conducted under liquiddiquid two-phase conditions, it has also been conducted under solidrliquid two-phase conditions [13] but, as with many other reactions carried out under such conditions, a trace of water is necessary for optimum success. Triphase catalysis [14] and use of the preformed quaternary ammonium cyanide [e.g. 15] have also been applied to the conversion of haloalkanes into the corresponding nitriles. Polymer-bound chloroalkanes react with sodium cyanide and cyanoalkanes under phase-transfer catalytic conditions [16],...

The Heck reaction was the first catalytic application reported with palladium-NHC complexes [49,50] and since then it has been considered a standard reaction for testing new palladium systems. Not only for their reactivity, but also stability as in most of the cases long reaction times under harsh conditions are required to obtain good yields [51-66]. 

A general synthetic scheme, starting with 3-cyano-6,7-dihydro-5//-1 -pyrind-2-one (121) and using standard reactions, for the preparation of a wide variety of 6,7-dihydro-5//-1 -pyrindine derivatives, has been reported by Godar and Mariella.68b 68b 82,83 It was also found82... 

The obtained amino functionalised imidazolium salts could be used to generate the corresponding palladium(ll) carbene complexes using the silver(l) complexes as carbene transfer agents. Application of these palladium(ll) complexes (predominantly in situ) in asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions between ( )-l,3-diphenylprop-3-enyl acetate and dimethyl malonate (a standard reaction for this catalytic process [145]) gave up to 80% ee,... 

Beside the preparation of aryl alkyl carbinol, many other secondary alcohols have been prepared in good to excellent optical purity through the use of this method, although improvements of the catalytic system have to be found to obtain good results with all types of ketones, especially dialkyl ketones. Numerous complex target molecules have been prepared where the asymmetric reduction is a key step. The Corey reduction is now a standard reaction for laboratory-scale preparation. 

The measurement of temperature is one of the most common physical measurements routinely made. It is so common that it is often overlooked as a variable when complex biochemical reactions are being studied. This is unfortunate, because an error in the temperature of a reaction may produce a large error in the results that becomes apparent when the results are compared with those of known standard reactions. For example, if the rate of reaction of an unknown enzyme is being studied at a temperature that is different by 0.1°C from the temperature at which the standard reaction was measured, an error as large as 2-5% in the observed rate of reaction can occur. The experimental data would not correlate then with the known enzyme reaction rates. Such errors lead to confusion in determining mechanisms and to the large variations that occur even in normal values from one clinical laboratory to another. This article seeks to bring the importance of accurate temperature measurements to the attention of biomedical scientists. We will identify the latest methods of temperature measurement and control as well as new temperature fixed-point standards that are or will shortly become available. 

It was therefore felt that the rate and equilibria constants could be correlated better by the Hammett equation if two new types of reaction site that becomes electron-rich and an electron-withdrawing substituent, a- constant is used. The standard reactions for the evaluation of cr constants are the ionization of p-substituted phenols and p-substituted anilinium ions [75]. Likewise, when there is resonance between a reaction site that becomes electron-deficient and an electron-donating substituent, cj+ constant is used. The standard reaction for the evaluation of ct+ constants is the solvolysis of p-substituted tert-cumyl chlorides 178 using 90 % aqueous acetone [76]. Selected [Pg.193]

Because the solvolysis of adamantyl chloride has been used as a standard reaction, we list here the results of applying the conversion equations to this standard, using the equation given by Swain to represent the adamantyl rates. R of equation 5 was again set equal to 1 for acetic and formic acids. The yA value (equation 5) was found to be 0.04684, compared with 0.0627 when tert-butyl chloride solvolysis was the standard reaction for obtaining Y. 

Hydroxy-de-diazoniations are well-known standard reactions for the replacement of aromatic amino groups by hydroxy groups. An aqueous solution of the diazonium salt is added slowly to boiling 5-35% (v/v) aqueous sulfuric acid. The hydroxy-de-diazoniation may fail in the presence of reactive substituents in the o-position to the diazonio group (24 references mentioned by Cohen " in 1977 ). Cohen s method of adding large amounts of Cu(N03)2 (15-100-fold excess) and CU2O in equimolar amounts, relative to diazonium ions, is today hardly recommendable anymore due to environmental reasons. 

Alkylation of benzophenone imine of -butyl glycinate is used as a standard reaction for testing of effectiveness of chiral PT catalysts.
